The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, the outlook for La Caleta for the next 16 days is a rough one. There’s plenty of swell coming through, but the wind is a real headache. It’s almost always blowing onshore or cross-onshore, which is a bummer. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°, about 2° above average for this time of year.
The first hint of a chance comes on Thursday, the 3rd of September. Morning brings a light breeze from the north, and swell drops to 4ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 277. It’s a marginal call at best, with the wind still onshore, just lighter. It’s the least messy option early on, but it’s not clean.
Then we hit a long, tough stretch. From Friday the 4th right through to Saturday the 12th, the wind is howling from the north or NNE at 15 to 19 mph, often stronger. Swell sits between 4ft and 8ft, but with that constant onshore wind and short, weak periods of 6 to 8 seconds, it’s just blown out and lumpy. The combined energy bounces between 120 and 700, which shows there’s plenty of power, but it’s all wasted. This stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Things perk up a bit on Sunday the 13th of September. The morning brings a light cross-onshore breeze from the NNW and a 7ft swell from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 573. It’s still a marginal forecast, and the wind isn’t perfect, but it’s the best looking morning in the whole run. A score of 2 out of 10 internally tells you it’s a slim chance for a short session, but you’d be gambling.
From Monday the 14th onwards, the swell fades fast. By Tuesday the 15th, we’re looking at 3ft, and by Wednesday the 16th, the swell drops to just 2ft from the WNW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is down to 133. The wind is still onshore. It’s a quiet end.
So, the standout – if you can call it that – is the morning of Sunday the 13th. It’s the only real window where the energy is decent and the wind isn’t a total killer. If you’re keen, you might snag a few lumpy ones. Otherwise, this is a long stretch of blown-out, messy surf that’s better left for the kite surfers.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for La Caleta may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
